With Éditions des Grandes Personnes & Kids❤
To celebrate photography's bicentenary, as part of PhotoSaintGermain, Métamorphoses presents forty original photographs by a dozen photographers published by Éditions des Grandes Personnes: Ianna Andreadis, Ramona Bãdescu, Franck Bordas, Claire Dé, François Delebecque, Charles Fréger, Gabriele Galimberti, Jan von Holleben, Sarah Illenberger, Martin Parr, Jean-Baptiste Pellerin, Robin Schwartz, Laurie Simmons, and William Wegman.
With the arrival of Jan von Holleben and the launch of the Kids❤Photography collection three years ago, the collaboration between Les Grandes Personnes and its photographers expanded to include some of the most celebrated names in the field, giving young readers the chance to discover artists such as Martin Parr and Gabriele Galimberti.
Alongside the exhibition, publisher Frédérique Destribats shares her favorite books for a stroll through the history of the children's photo book that is both personal and knowledgeable.
This joyful event will also mark the launch of three new titles, including *ABC... Photographiez! 200 ans de photographies**, with text and selection by Jan von Holleben.

Located in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Métamorphoses is a lively, one-of-a-kind space that is at once a haven for book lovers, an art gallery, and a publisher.
At the front, a large wall of shelving is devoted to antique and modern books, manuscripts, autograph documents, and graphic works on paper. The large gallery space, meanwhile, is given over every two months to a new exhibition, where fine art, contemporary bookbinding, and unique books find their place alongside prints and photography.
